Did you see
Richard Sohn's trick for making a fiberglass tube at Shady Bend? Basically you
overfill a section of an inner tube with sand. Once filled you can bend and
shape it. Glass it. Remove the sand. Peel out the inner tube. Bingo. A
perfectly smooth fiberglass duct of the correct dimensions and shape.
Hi
John,
I heard about
that, or read it somewhere, but never got around to trying
it. Seems like it would need to be attached in place on the
engine to make sure it was in the proper shape, but I don't have room to
work around all the other stuff to try to glass it there.
Now I could fill
the hose with Sakrete and sand, then put some water in it before putting it in
place. Once hardened, you could take it away, and glass it on the
bench. Of course you'd have to put a couple layers on, then cut it apart
to get it off the concrete tube, but you could easily put another layer on it go
glue it back together.
Maybe I'll just
keep putting this off :-)
Cheers,
Rusty
